What bank are you referring > to ? A collection of samples, which one needs to actually play midi files. One that seems to work is the file "8MBGMSFX.SF2" from the SoundBlaster windows drivers, but that one is of course non-free. There are no free sample banks in SF2 format that I'm aware of. I haven't tried if fluidsynth works with the GUS-compatible samples from the freepats package; if it does, it should probably depend on that package, but if it does not, it should move to contrib.
